1.
A Car Full of Collies, they're fluffy and jolly
  And smell like a swamp when they're wet
  A cup full of guppies won't fill up those puppies
  It still leaves them hungry, you bet
 
2.
A house full of hippos, they dance on their tiptoes
  And break lots of toys when they're mad
  A bowl full of goldfish won't satisfy their wish
  It just leaves them feeling real bad
 
chorus And I want to dance with the moon.
  And I want to play with the stars
  Till the morning comes with the rising sun
  And nobody knows where we are
 
3.
A carton of kitties, they're dressed in their pretties
  And howl at the moon for their lunch
  A creek full of streakers won't dampen their sneakers
  It makes not a dent in that bunch
 
4.
A dish full of duckies, they're wearing muck-luckies
  And leave a down trail when they move
  A crock full of crackers won't dry out those quackers
  It leaves them with something to prove
   
chorus  
   
5.
A gallon of gators, they're dressed in their waders
  And send Morse code with their teeth
  A churn of cheese doodles will bounce off their noodles
  It leaves them quite hollow beneath
   
6.
A park full of ponies, all dance with their cronies
  Tails high like a ship in full sail
  A dish full of kippers won’t trip up those tricksters
  It just leaves them feeling quite pale
   
chorus  
   
coda Nobody knows where we ... Nobody knows where we are
 

"I took a photo of my four dogs looking out the back of my 4-wheel drive. I wrote five verses over the course of several years. It's a complex alliteration and rhyme scheme as well as parallel construction in each verse." — Sandra L. Reay

 

Sandy sent the first five verses to B.J. for illustrations. Instead, B.J. wrote the chorus and the 6th verse, and set it to music.
